Type: Journal Article
This issue of Naga features three articles about a project on the Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias (GIFT) and a related article on the trend to genetic deterioration in some carp hatcheries. The first is on the genesis ...
Biochemical and morphometric approaches to characterize farmed tilapias
Type: Journal Article
Biochemical (electrophoresis and mitochondrial DNA) and morphological analysis are important tools for the characterization of strains. Reference is made to studies conducted in the framework of the Genetic Improvement of ...
Multiple haemoglobins in three tilapiine species of the genus Oreochromis and in eight strains of O. niloticus
Type: Journal Article
Among three tilapiine species, Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner), O. mossambicus (Peters) and O. niloticus (L.), fifteen banding positions of haemoglobin were resolved using citric acid-aminopropylmorpholine pH 7.0 buffer. ...
Photographic image analysis for morphometric studies of tilapia
Type: Journal Article
Biologists have long employed morphometry as a tool in identification, grouping of populations and stock identification of fish. For tilapias, studies have been made on the variability of morphomeric characters in Egyptian ...
